<p> FLUORIDE DOSAGE CALCULATIONS For use with MASS/DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH DAILY FLUORIDATION REPORT</p><p>`1 ` Notes:  Use the following formulas to calculate the Calculated Fluoride Ion Dosage in Section III of Form A of the Mass DPH fluoridation report.  The natural fluoride level for Massachusetts of 0.1 ppm is incorporated into all calculated dosage formulas below.  Million Gallons (MG) must be expressed in decimal form. Ex.1,000,000 would be entered as 1.0; 500,000 would be 0.5 . </p><p>A. Calculations of Daily Dosage 1. a) If using a Saturator- using gallons of makeup water (saturated solution) added each day.</p><p>Calculated dosage (ppm) = Gallons of makeup water added each day Water treated each day (MG) X 50 b) If using a Saturator- using cubic feet of makeup water added each day. </p><p>Calculated dosage (ppm) = Cubic feet of makeup water added each day Water treated each day (MG) X 6.7</p><p>2.a) If using Hydrofluosilicic acid- using pounds added each day.</p><p>Calculated dosage (ppm) = __Pounds of acid added each day__ Water treated each day (MG) X C4*</p><p>*For C4 values use the following table:</p><p>Commercial purity of H2SiF6 in % C4 22 43.1 23 41.2 24 39.5 25 37.8 26 36.5 27 35.1 28 33.9 29 32.7 30 31.7</p><p>3. a) If using a Dry Feeder- using pounds of sodium Silicofluoride added each day.</p><p>Calculated dosage (ppm) = Pounds of Silicofluoride added each day Water treated each day (MG) X 12.4</p><p>B. Only For systems using a Saturator - Calculation of monthly dosage **</p><p>1. a) If using a Saturator- using pounds of sodium fluoride added each month </p><p>Calculated dosage (ppm) = Pounds of Sodium Fluoride added each month Water treated each month (MG) X 16.9 </p><p>** If you have any questions on the monthly dosage calculation see the MA State Recommended Standard Operating Procedures for Sodium Fluoride (NaF) Saturators on the following website: Mass DEP/DWP- http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/massdep/service/approvals/fluoride.html or contact DPH at 617-624-5573.
